RECRUITING: Centennial’s Pam Wilmore chooses New Mexico State

Centennial senior point guard Pam Wilmore made an oral commitment to New Mexico State, continuing the Aggies’ pipeline into one of the state’s top girls basketball programs.

Wilmore’s commitment is nonbinding, and the first day she can sign a letter of intent is Nov. 9. New Mexico State’s coaches cannot comment until that time.

“She’s a hard worker,” Centennial coach Karen Weitz said. “She had a good summer, and that helped her stock as far as getting recruited. I think it’s a good fit.”

The 5-foot-6-inch Wilmore was a second-team all-state selection as a junior after helping the Bulldogs win their second straight Class 4A (then Division I) state title. She averaged 9.0 points, 6.0 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 3.0 steals last season.

Centennial grad Tamera William is a senior guard for New Mexico State, which has advanced to the NCAA Tournament the past two seasons.
